Busy bee in Sydney

Here I am abusing the New South Wales library; providing me with some free time on the internet. Since arriving in Sydney yesterday afternoon I have been a crazed job hunter. Even managed to get a job as a receptionist today but looking for something else- such as fruit picking for a few weeks while I search for more permanent work. Going to contact all the arts colleges and youth work offices and signed up with agencies too. Can't believe it really, thought I might not be able to be this functioning, working human again after taking it easy for so long. So all being well I am going to a town called Ardmona to pick pears tomorrow. It is 2 hours from Melbourne, know its going to be hard work but looking forward to the challenge now I think I'm some kind of seasoned outdoorsy type. Sydney is full of stylish suited people and couture-esq dresses. Currently resisting the urge to ask people if I can take their photo; well just the bearded man in the battered converse and lumberjack shirt. Off to trot to the sydey opera house now, spied it briefly from the plane. Won't feel like I've arrived until I've had a gander. Oh and a nice thing happened yesterday, got a complimentary style and blow dry at Toni and Guy; such a treat and feel like an almost lady again. Hope you're having a great week. We're closer in time now- only 11 hours ahead this side x x x x
